Chapter 376: Footprints
In addition to that, the whole process of being killed was very fast, I estimate that it took less than fifteen minutes! If not, where do the cockroaches and rats come from?
Hypothetically, it is really because of the former, that is, the clown's speed is very fast, so if he wants to move such a large stone to block the entrance of the cave, he must spend a lot of manpower or borrow a large machine, and the outside will definitely leave physical traces such as footprints.
But we just came in from the outside, and I saw no traces, not even footprints!
Thinking of this, I suddenly opened my eyes and said secretly: "Yes! No! Not even a single footprint can be seen! ”
There are no physical traces of the scene, and it doesn't look like it has been deliberately covered up! The truth should actually be at the mouth of the cave!
I got up suddenly, and the coffin immediately came over and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"Let's go back to the cave and have a look." I hurried outside.
The land outside this cave is dirt, and if someone passes by, like me, Coffin, and Yi He, they all leave shallow footprints when they come here.
But other than that, why are there no other people's footprints?
That's impossible! There were once people living in it, and there must be people coming and going at the entrance of the cave, so it is impossible to have no footprints!
So I half-crouched, grabbed a handful of dirt, and rubbed it in my hand.
The mud was a little damp because it had been wet from the rain, and I sniffed it again, but I didn't smell anything.
But after sweeping away a layer of mud, I found that the mud on it was relatively subtle, and under normal circumstances, it would not be possible to find it without paying close attention to the contrast!
"The dirt was covered by someone afterward." I said as I thought.
The coffin crouched beside me, swallowing spit, staring at me as if waiting for me to come up with the truth.
Based on the clues provided by Yi He, I said: "Along the way, there is blood on the tip of the leaf, then that person must have been seriously injured, and he is indeed running away, and the blood is dripping on the leaves of the petals on the road, leaving that trace." But these people will lay cement before leaving, and their minds are so meticulous, there is no reason why they will leave such obvious traces? ”
The coffin didn't understand and asked, "So what?" ”
"There are three possibilities! The first type, the people who escaped were Tie Yuanjing; the second is because the people behind are chasing too wildly, so that they run so quickly that they don't even have a chance to cover up; The third is that someone deliberately left that clue to lure us over, and this is all an illusion, and it is more likely to be a trap. Of course, there are still many unknown possibilities, what do you think of the coffin? ”
He raised his right hand and scratched his left arm, apparently bitten by a mosquito.
At this moment, I grabbed his hand, and he was startled by me again, and asked me, "What are you doing?" ”
"You're tickling!" I say.
He nodded and said, "yes, a mosquito has bitten me." ”
"But have you noticed that there are no mosquito carcasses in there?" I asked.
He frowned, looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Actually, if I came alone, I wouldn't have found anything!" ”
I suddenly felt a little helpless, so I thought to myself: Why are there only cockroaches and mouse corpses? But there are no mosquitoes! If they really inhale toxic gases, then mosquitoes should inhale them too! But the poison is not poured into it, otherwise why didn't the rat's tongue turn black, but the eyeballs were congested and swollen?
Just when I was thinking about it, Yi He walked out and said, "Officer He, look what I found!" ”
He came over and showed me what he had found, namely: a broken needle; A card printed with the word "Judgment" on it, somewhat crooked, should have been folded; There is also a section of iron chain, which is just a ring in the chain.
I took the new-looking ring and pondered, "Look, this doesn't look like a link in the chain of our handcuffs?" ”
"I think it's a bit like that." Yi He said.
I took the card again and said, "This is the Joker's masterpiece!" Finally I took the broken needle and said, "I understand how the rats died!" ”
"How did you die?" Easy and asked.
I looked at the needle and said, "I was too idealistic just now, of course, I thought that those rats and cockroaches came by themselves and were poisoned by carbon monoxide, but in fact I was wrong, I underestimated the modus operandi of a madman, he should have brought those things over, and as he walked, he took them out and injected them into their bodies to scare people." ”
"Yes, yes!" Yi He approved of my idea.
I got up again, walked to the entrance to the cave, and said, "There are large stones and traces of being swept here, but they must not have been blown apart, but were left by the bombardment with stones." ”
The coffin immediately scratched his neck and said, "I understand, so I heard that roar before, not rolling stones or thunder on the mountain!" ”
It turns out that he heard the sound before!
After thinking about it for a while, Yi He nodded, but said with a frown: "But even if we understand these truths, it won't help solve the case, right?" Just know that the clown used to be involved. ”
"And the clown threatens them, makes them afraid, drives them out of here!" I say.
The coffin immediately questioned, "Wouldn't it?" Those people are terrible, I saw them all wearing black robes that day, going to that villa, and then they moved very fast, and when they killed your friend at the door, they were also very fierce! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi He turned around in astonishment, looked at me, and said, "What? Your friend was killed? Is your girlfriend? ”
He was inevitably surprised, because I had not shown any suppressed emotions from the time I first met him until now.
"I don't want to talk about it!" I had to choose to run away from it, even though I knew that when I remembered it in the future, the sadness would be stronger than it was now, but just a minute more confused would make my breathing a little easier.
Yi He understood me, nodded secretly, but stared at my eyes regretfully.
"Don't look at it, I don't have anything to look at, let's investigate the case!" I turned my head in a daze, and pretended to be indifferent and asked him to put away the physical evidence, and then walked away from the cave.
After walking for a while, Yi He ran up and asked me, "Can you still investigate the case now?" Why don't you take a break at the villa? ”
I blinked secretly, shook my head, and said, "There are also Song Siyu and Tie Yuanjing, they should still be alive!" Maybe they're hiding there right now, and when we go to help, we're going to find them quickly. Also, How can the Joker have a dispute with TDEP? I think there must be something important involved behind it, which may seriously endanger society, so let me look it up! ”
